Food & dietary information 

  • Please provide any allergy or dietary requirements in the 'allergen requirements' section when making your booking. If you wish to swap a sandwich filling, we can only replace it with an existing filling within the existing afternoon tea offering.
  • We’re unable to offer vegan or dairy-free options. 
  • The dishes on the NGCI afternoon tea are made with ingredients which do not intentionally contain gluten. However, we handle gluten containing ingredients in our kitchens so we cannot guarantee our dishes are 100% gluten-free. Our NGCI afternoon tea is therefore not suitable for Coeliacs.
  • For allergen information please check the allergen matrix at dobbies.com. Due to the size and complexity of our kitchen we are unable to guarantee the absence of allergens in our products. 
  • Tickets with Prosecco are only available for adults aged 18 and over. If you arrive having booked prosecco for someone under the age of 18, we will not be able to serve this to them.
  • We operate a Challenge 25 policy, so if you’re lucky enough to look under 25, we may ask for valid photo ID before serving alcohol. Thank you for your understanding.

 

Join us for an enjoyable afternoon of crafting, conversation and tea - and leave with something special to finish and display at home.
